No not the same guy.
Sorensen was signed by the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted rookie free agent on April 27, 2001, but was waived before the season started. He joined the St. Louis Rams, also in 2001, where he played for two seasons—including the Rams’ appearance in Super Bowl XXXVI.
Following that Super Bowl season, the Rams cut Sorensen, who was then picked up by the Jacksonville Jaguars. In Jacksonville, Sorensen played four seasons in the defensive backfield and as a standout on special teams. All four years he was the special teams captain. In 2006, Sorensen suffered a significant injury, and the Jaguars cut him prior to the start of the 2007 season.
On October 24, 2007, he signed with the Cleveland Browns, and on February 29, 2008, the first day of free agency, he re-signed with the Browns.
On October 26, 2008, Sorensen returned to Jacksonville for the first time after being cut by Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio in August 2007. Sorensen broke up the final play of the game (a pass from David Garrard to Matt Jones) with 13 seconds left in the game. The Browns won the game 23–17 thanks to Sorensen’s effort.
As of the end of the 2009 season, Sorensen had not missed any of the 41 games since joining the Browns, but had also not made a start. Going into the 2010 season, Sorensen was scheduled to earn $774,340 and was third on the Browns’ depth chart behind rookies T. J. Ward and Larry Asante. The presence of the newly drafted rookies meant that Sorensen faced being cut after training camp. He was not and went on to primarily contribute on special teams.
On August 28, 2010, he was carted off the field with a possible neck injury during an exhibition game versus the Detroit Lions. His contract expired at the conclusion of the 2010 season, and he was not signed in free agency.
From 2013 to 2020, Sorensen was a coach on the Seattle Seahawks staff, under head coach Pete Carroll. He served as a special teams assistant for his first three seasons. Sorenson won his first Super Bowl title when the Seahawks defeated the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII.<sup id=”cite_ref-3″ class=”reference”>[3]</sup> In 2016 he served as assistant defensive backs coach, and beginning in 2017, Sorensen served as coach of the Seahawks’ secondary, formerly known as the Legion of Boom.
In June of 2021, the Jacksonville Jaguars announced that they had hired Sorensen as their special teams coordinator. He was hired to replace former Seahawks special teams coordinator Brian Schneider, who left the organization after a brief tenure due to personal reasons.
In 2022, Sorensen became a defensive assistant for the San Francisco 49ers.
